Ino twirled her hair and watched half interested at the customers occasionally coming out of her reverie to help a customer or two,

but kept her mind on how she was going to seduce a Kazekage, I can't use my usual fool proof tricks, I have to be crafty,

dumb Forehead girl, Naruto worships her Hmm, maybe, no that wouldn't work. Well now we have a reason to 'hunt' him,,

Shut up! Ino glared and belatedly noticed a new customer with sea green eyes that watched her, as they went through colors of

flowers, She smiled, "May I ask what type you are looking for?" He looked at her apathetically, "No." Ino nodded her innerself

yelling at her to retaliate, but outwardly stayed silent helping the other customers though keeping an eye on her 'target.' He stayed a

little while longer but then left silent leaving a self berating Ino. Ino Closed up shop early too pissed to concentrate on anything. She

started walking towards her apartment and heard someone whisper her name. She turned and saw a fairly lit alley, she walked

down it cautiously watching for any sign of danger or even life."Ino,," She knew that voice but didn't believe her ears, instead she

turned a little unnerved by the closeness of the air, "Who are you?" "You know who I am." "Where are you then? Show yourself!"

The hair on the back of her neck prickled as he whispered softly into her ear, "Here." She spun to face him and he kissed her

heatedly. "Ino,, " She kissed him at his words, again, "Goodnight." He knocked her out his sand catching her gently, He stared at

her and saw the scrunchi and smirked a lock how odd that all of them were given key. His sand cradled her and he took her

home. He placed her on the bed gently before kissing her once again just as softly.


(later) Ino was waken up by a blushing Sakura who was laughing about something she couldn't see, "If you let those brats that

follow Naruto around did something to me I'm going to,," Sakura calmed slightly, "No,, no ,nnothing llike thatt. just something

Iruka, Naruto and I were talking about earlie- why do you look like you've been thoroughly kissed?" Ino subconsciously put her

fingers to her lips Sakura sighed, "Fine if you want to keep it secret, I don't have to tell you what Iruka -sensei said to me at

dinner." Ino shook her head slowly, "Tell, I'll tell you but don't tell anyone else." Sakura nodded then began telling her what

happened at dinner. Ino shook her head, "Mine's more interesting." Sakura squealed when Ino finished and Ino hit her with a

pillow, "Shut up do you want to tell the world forehead!!" Sakura just grinned widely, "I would if i hadn't promised not to, i mean

Gaara of the sand kissing someone! I mean that's unbelievable!!!!" Ino just smiled coyly, "Yeah and it was me!" Sakura sighed,

"Bad thing is unless you can get proof for this or next time if there is a next time he'll probably deny it." Ino threw a pillow at her,

"Thanks for making me feel better, your a real help!" Sakura laughed, "Your welcome.Swamp thing. Naruto And Gaara's charm is

earrings if you can get him lower both his sand and his emotional shields rest your head on his shoulder and 'accidentally get it stuck

in the lock then you win." Ino shook her head, "I wouldn't do that to him" Sakura gave her a doubtful look, "You wouldn't? I

wouldn't to Naruto but this is you were talking about you know." Ino hit her with the pillow again then grinned, "Naruto? Do you like

him or something?" Sakura's eyes widened, " So you're in LOVE with Gaara you were calling him in your sleep last night." and

ducked then started a pillow fight which had them laughing like idiots when the phone rang. Sakura cursed when Ino threw the

pillow at her to answer the phone, "Hello Ino and forehead girl's place,," "Hey sailor it's for you." Ino fell over laughing at the look

Sakura was giving her as she took the phone, "Hello, oh hey Naruto yes the swamp thing is, she is a pig after all,, Tomorrow the

bridge? ok i can do that, Goodnight Nari" The phone rang as soon as she set it done, "Hello?" "Ino it's you know who." Ino

squealed, "HHello? Hello?" She hung up, "Real funny Billboard brow!" Sakura tilted her head, "He was there, oh well i'm going to

bed swampie."
